PBR, France.  I have seen this pretty little car at a number of hillclimbs and slaloms.  It has its own facebook page - https://www.facebook.com/sportprotopbr/posts - but otherwise I can't find out much about it on the web.   Currently, I am assuming this is a homemade racer with an engine less than 1,600cc.  Perhaps it was originally made before 2004 as it is accepted into Class CNF1.

Matra-Simca, Romorantin, France.  The Bagheera was a seventies mid-engined rear wheel drive 3 seater sports car produced mainly from Simca components.  The body was polyester mounted on a steel chassis.  Engines were either 1.3 litre or 1.5 litre Simca 4 cylinders made in Poissy.  It had a top speed of around 116mph and took about 12 seconds for 0-60mph.  The car drove well but the steel chassis rusted badly.

Cooper, Surbiton, England.  The was the second Cooper Formula Junior car, replacing the T52,  and raced in 1960 and 1961. It looked very much like the contemporary Cooper F1 car.  There were both works cars and those sold to privateers.  Steve McQueen raced one in the USA.  In Europe Tony Maggs won eight races and tied Jo Siffert in the  European Formula Junior Championship driving one.  Many other famous drivers drove them including Denny Hulme, Richard Attwood, John Love, John Rhodes, Ricardo Rodriguez, and Walt Hangsen. They normally had 1.1 litre Ford Cosworth or BMC engines.

Something a little unusual for a summer Sunday!   The beer bike is made for 20 people and ten of them have pedals.  Rather slower than the usual vehicles I feature as apparently the average speed of this one is just 4.5mph.  They can be seen in a number of Belgium locations - we saw ours going around Brussels.  So this is a way of drinking on the move and sight-seeing at the same time.  Nice idea.  Feestfiets.be if you are interested.

GKW, Monza, Italy.  This vehicle was conceived by Italian Gabriele Gottifredi in 1985 in his Olgiate Molgora workshops and built over the next few years.  Only one example exists.  It was designed to be a very light, relatively low cost Group C2 car which could accept various Porsche flat 6 engines. It has a simple aluminium alloy monocoque.  During the late eighties it appeared and tested at various circuits but never actually raced during the Group C époque, probably as it failed to get adequate financing.  We are now lucky to see it race in historic Group C racing and it finished eleventh at the Group C race supporting the 2016 Le Mans Classic.  It races with a 3.3 litre Porsche flat 6 engine from a 956.  Other 956 parts were also utilised.

Rondeau, Le Mans, France.  After winning at Le Mans in 1980, Rondeau produced a new design for the new Group C formula.  However the M482 was not ready in the first year so they used the existing chassis with a modified body and new suspension in 1982.  This was the M382.  Rondeau even sold some customer cars and thus some were raced at Daytona that year where they were classified 31st and 34th but later in the year came 3rd at Sears Point.  The works cars were more successful in Europe.  In round 1 of the World Endurance championship at Monza, Henri Pescarolo and Giorgio Francia won in the new Rondeau. They also finished second in the Nurburgring 1000km but were the first Group C car home and fifth at Silverstone where they were the third group C car home. This gave them the championship lead going into Le Mans. Unfortunately, the reliability of the Cosworth engine proved not to be sufficient for the 24 hours and the two OTIS works cars retired, and a private entry could only finish 15th.  A fifth place at Spa meant that they only finish second to Porsche in the Championship.  But what a great effort for this small manufacturer.  Otis were disappointed that they lost only because Porsche could score with a non-Group C car at the Nurburgring.

ROC / Chuck Graemiger, Switzerland.  This rare Group C rare was produced by Chuck Graemiger and Racing Organisation Course and went through a number of name changes.  It only appeared at Le Mans and Magny Cours in 1991 where it started but failed to finish.  The drivers were Pascal Fabre and Bernard Thuner.  It had a Cosworth DFR engine and a carbon fibre monocoque.  The car was designed to sell to privateers but Group C was declining and it never happened.   It now appears as a welcome participant in historic racing.  First known as a Cheetah like Chuck's first Aston Martin engined car, it quickly became an ROC and an SGR.

Peugeot,  Vélizy-Villacoubray, France.  The Porsche 905 made its debut part way through the 1990 Sports Car championship and proved immediately to one of the fastest 3.5 litre cars.  In 1991 they completed a full season but were not as fast as the Jaguars. They did however win at Susuka but retired at Le Mans. Towards the end of the season they improved the aerodynamics with the Evo B model.  It then went on to win at Magny Cours and Mexico and thus Peugeot clinched second place in the Championship.  In 1992 with the main competition from Toyota, Peugeot won 5 out of 6 rounds of the Championship including the Le Mans 24 hours.   Yannick Dalmas and Derek Warwick won the drivers championship and with Mark Blundell, Le Mans as well.  In 1993 Group C racing imploded and thus the Peugeot team concentrated just on the Le Mans 24 hours with the Evo 1 model that they had ran the previous year rather than the Evo Bis 2 they had started to develop.  At Le Mans they managed a 1-2-4 victory with Eric Hélary, Christophe Bouchot and Geoff Brabham driving the lead car.  Following this, Peugeot used the engined for its F1 programme with somewhat less success.

Lamborghini, Sant'Agata Bolognese, Italy.  The Gallardo is the best selling Lamboghini to date with over 14,000 sold from 2003 to 2013.   It is of course a mid-engined sports car with rear wheel drive. There were many different variants over the ten years of production with the second generation appearing in 2008. The Super Trofeo was a racing version of the second generation Gallardo and was initially designed for a Blancpain one make series from 2009. The series continues today and there have been a number of changes to these cars over the years. They have powerful 5.2 litre V10 engines. The car above is a regular in the Championnat de France de la Montagne and competes in the GTTS class which includes GT cars from one-make championships, silhouettes and World Rally Championship cars.

Chrysler, USA.  In the seventies there was a class for NASCAR cars at Le Mans in order to try and attract more cars following the fuel crisis.  In 1976 Herschel Mc Griff, a long time American stock car driver,  brought over an Olympia beer sponsored Dodge Charger in the colours pictured above to Le Mans . Unfortunately it only finished a couple of laps before retiring as the European fuel didn't suit the car because it had the wrong octane level.   The original car was lost but Christophe Schwartz has created a replica using a Petty prepared Grand National car that won the the 1977 USAC Stock Car championship winning car as a base. Top speed of the original car was 215mph along the Mulsanne straight.  The 1973 type Dodge Charge was a favourite amongst drivers of the time in NACAR and USAC racing.  In 1977 Paul Feldner drove the car above to its USAC title.  In 2016 Christophe Schwartz finished in the top half of the field in the Le Mans Classic just behind the ex-Robin Hamilton Aston Martin.

Axone Compétition, Bourgogne, France.  The car is the work of Chantal and Jacques Bonnot and their friends in l'Abergement Ste Colombe .   The first Axones were produced around 1972.   I believe two Axone 1600s were built in 1975/1976.  All seem to have been used mainly for French hillclimbing as they are Formula Libre cars. They have tubular chassis with 1.6L Renault Gordini engines and a Hewland gearbox.  Top speed is 220kph.

Fiat, Turin, Italy.  The 128 range lasted from 1969 to 1985 and was European Car of the Year in 1970. It was a front wheel drive, front engined small car that had many variants and set a trend many were to follow.  The 128 3P was produced from 1975 to 1979 and was a 3 door coupé that replaced the sports coupé.  There were both 1.2L and 1.3L variants.  They were not very fast with a 0-60mph time of around 15 seconds and a top speed of a little over 80mph in unmodified form.  Lots of course were raced in minor races and occasionally the European Touring Car Championship.

Rondeau, Le Mans, France.  This was the first of the cars to bear Jean Rondeau's name, although previously he had built the Inaltera cars that had borne the name of the wallpaper manufacturer.  This car was built just to race at Le Mans and was powered by an endurance version of the Cosworth DFV engine.   It was similar to the Inaltera but it had a longer tail and partly cover rear wheels. The aerodynamic body was designed by Bureau de Design Ovale.  As with the Inalteras it was entered in the GTP class rather than Group 6 that Porsche dominated.  With Jean Rondeau, Bernard Darniche and Jacky Haran driving it finished ninth in the 1978 Le Mans 24 hours and won its class.   In 1980 Jean Rondeau would go on to win Le Mans in a car bearing his name, the only man to have done so.  Sadly, he was killed near Le Mans on a level crossing when his car was hit by a train.

NSU, Neckarsulm, Germany.   This NSU 1200 TT was a small 2 door touring car car of the late sixties and early seventies. It was part of the NSU Prinz range This was the time when NSU was acquired by the Volkswagen Group and merged with Audi. Eventually this led to the NSU range being discontinued.  The 1200 TT had the 1,200cc air cooled 4 cylinder OHC engine of the NSU 1200 but the smaller body of the NSU 1000.  Thus it had better performance.   The engine was rear mounted and powered the rear wheels.   This model had the horizontal black stripe in the chrome bar between the dual headlights.  A number were raced and rallied and there was a special competition model the TTS which had the front mounted oil cooler.

J.W. Automotive Engineering, Slough, England.  Produced by John Wyer's company after the Ford GT and Porsche 917 projects, this Group 5 sports car was powered by a 3 litre Cosworth DFV.  Its only win came in the 1973 Spa 1000 kilometres driven by Derek Bell and Mike Hailwood.  It retired at le mans after 163 laps.  This was a great era when Matras, Ferrari, Alfa Romeos, private Porsches and the Gulf Mirage were competing.

Ferrari, Maranello, Italy.  After not competing in 1968 after a change in Sport Car rules, Ferrari produced the Ferrari 312P in accordance with the rules that limited prototypes to 3 litres.  On its debut in 1969 it showed promise as an open sports car by coming second at Sebring.  However this were the year that Porsche introduced the very competitive 908/2 and by the end of the year had the 917 also in winning form.  Thus, no wins were to be had despite it being competitive and coming 4th at Brands Hatch and second again at Spa.   A coupé version was developed for Le Mans but it did not finish even though 2 of them were in the top six during practice.  The coupés were then sold to NART and then ran them for a few more years.  Best placing for NART was 4th in the Daytona 24 hours in 1970.  I have always though that this is one of the most beautiful of the mid-engined Ferrari sports cars and it was driven by the greats such as Chris Amon, Pedro Rodriguez and Mario Andretti as well as other competent sports cars drivers such as David Piper, Peter Schetty and Sam Posey amongst others.

Chevrolet, USA.   The Corvair was a car of the sixties and was unusual in that it was quite compact for the time and had a rear mounted engine.   It was available as a hardtop with both 2 or 4 doors and also as a convertible as seen here.  The car was attacked by the consumer activist, Ralph Nader, on safety grounds but the car was probably no more unsafe than any other of the time. The car above is a first generation car that was sold from 1960 to 1964.  The engine variants were all aluminium and under 3 litre.  In my view this was one of the best looking American cars of the sixties.  Some chose to race these cars in the US and they achieved some minor wins.  In the UK, Ian Richardson used one with a Chevy V8 engine in Super Saloons with some success.
